Default Schumi vs. Kimi 2009

How will Schumi do against Kimi in the same car for the remaining 7 races?? Sorry, i can't do an official poll.

I've always wanted to see this!

A- Schumi will beat Kimi in every race.

B- Kimi will beat Schumi in each race. Schum is old and slow now.

C- They will be equal

D- Schumi will be a little better

E- Kimi will be a little better

as much as a great driver schumi is, it will take more than 9 races for him to finish in the top 8 after being away from the sport for nearly 3 years. i do hope i'm wrong and he gets into Q3 out of the gate and battles for points but he said himslef he has yet to drive the 09 cars and this was before massa accident.

I'll bet he absolutely kicks Kimi's @ss, every single race. When MS doesn't win by speed it'll be because Kimi is running into Sutil! And yes, MS has a huge disadvantage having not been racing F1 this season. Sadly, they will both be mid-pack.

I think Kimi will be hitting the simulator a bit extra during this break. Still, I'm interested to see the outcome.

Kimi has given up and is on cruise control. Schumi has something to prove. Kimi will lose to him every round.

The FXX had slick tires and he drove it on Topgear this year

I am putting my money on Schumacher beating Kimi. I don't believe he will be near the top but with the improvements Ferrari has made this season, I don't think he will be at the bottom.
